Last 6 months: 23 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read CertaPro Painters of South Central CT is a Southington, Connecticut painting company; its website lists a service area including Berlin, Branford, Bristol, Cheshire, Meriden, Middletown and New Britain and offers free estimates. The Connecticut registry shows home improvement contractor license HIC.0655769 as active, held by CertaPro Painters of South Central CT. Google shows 4.8 stars from 141 ratings, and Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.9 from 37 ratings. Reviews describe interior rooms, exteriors, decks, aluminum siding and popcorn-ceiling removal, with Kevin handling estimates and crews led by names such as Lucas, Tom and Anja, and Hector; an October 2026 review says a crew of 5 painted walls, doors and trim in a 2000 sqft home in 2 days, and a May 2026 review says their carpenter repaired rotted wood found during power washing. Two 2026 four-star reviews name misses: a walnut stain applied to entry doors instead of the original mahogany, and power washing that could have been better. A June 2025 one-star review says the company did not honor its warranty and proposed a cost-share repair, and an April 2024 one-star review describes a fence stain job with a language barrier that looked like absolute garbage. **Strengths:** - Fast whole-house interiors — an October 2026 crew of 5 finished in 2 days - Carpentry repairs before paint — a May 2026 review describes rotted wood replaced **Concerns:** - Stain color mix-up — a September 2026 review got walnut instead of mahogany - Warranty dispute — a June 2025 review says a cost-share repair was proposed ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The Connecticut registry shows home improvement contractor license HIC.0655769 as active, held by CertaPro Painters of South Central CT. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0655769 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: CERTAPRO PAINTERS OF SOUTH CENTRAL CT” - The company's website lists a service area including Berlin, Branford, Bristol, Cheshire, Cromwell, Durham, East Haven, Guilford, Meriden, Middlefield, Middletown, New Britain, Newington and North Branford, and offers free estimates. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://certapro.com/south-central-ct) — “Stated offer (self-reported): free estimates” - [Official Website](https://certapro.com/south-central-ct) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Sullivan, Berlin, Branford, Bristol, Cheshire, Cromwell, Durham, East Haven, Guilford, Meriden, Middlef…” - Google shows 4.8 stars from 141 ratings; Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.9 from 37 ratings. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=CertaPro%20Painters%20of%20South%20Central%20CT&query_place_id=ChIJDX50-Ti354kRoJDwaMcIwQU) — “Google: 4.8★ from 141 ratings” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.CertaProPaintersof.91253943.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.9★ from 37 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/southington/certapro-painters-of-south-central-ct-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 4.9★ from 37 ratings” - An October 2026 review says a crew of 5 painted walls, doors and trim for a 2000 sqft home and were done in 2 days. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2kxSllYUlZjV2xHYmtaS1pXaG5MVjlMUXpsd2FHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x5c108c768f090a0!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOi1JYXRVcWlGbkZKZWhnLV9LQzlwaGc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Extremely professional and talented.
